2 police officers, 3 Zambia Correctional Service officers that were guarding Jay Jay Banda in custody – Jack Mwiimbu
Petauke Central MP Hon. JJ Banda Escapes from Lawful Custody
In a shocking turn of events, Honourable JJ Banda, the Independent Member of Parliament for Petauke Central, has escaped from lawful custody while receiving treatment at Chipata Central Hospital. Banda is facing charges of aggravated robbery after attacking a journalist and stealing money and other items during the reign of the Patriotic Front.
At the time of his escape, Banda was under the guard of two Police Officers and three Correctional Officers. His three wives were also present at the hospital. The escape was confirmed by Hon. Jack Mwiimbu, the Minister of Home Affairs and Internal Security, during a press briefing.
Minister Mwiimbu revealed that Banda has a history of criminal activity, including other crimes committed while he was protected by the ruling party then. He gave brief details of the said crimes.
The Minister also expressed concern that there are some disgruntled officers within the Zambia Police Service who are attempting to tarnish the reputation of the institution.
Furthermore, Minister Mwiimbu noted that the officers who were guarding Banda are of the same age range as the officers suspected in the murder of Muleya, indicating that they were recruited around the same time. This raises questions about potential systemic issues within the police service.
An investigation into the circumstances surrounding Banda’s escape has been launched, and all the officers who were guarding him have been detained. A manhunt is currently underway to recapture the fugitive MP.
This incident raises serious concerns about the security and integrity of Zambia’s criminal justice system. The public demands answers on how a high-profile suspect like Banda was able to escape from custody, despite being under guard.
The incident is still unfolding, and more information will be provided.
This statement alone is heavily political. Was detailing the past misdemeanours and his association to the former ruling necessary?. This hogwash. The fact that this minister casts question marks on the recruited officers age ranges tells the world how much disgruntled this minister is.
They are trying to create a narrative for firing all younger police officers who were recruited before 2021.
Simple!!!! Just round up his wives and give them a decisive treat. This is an inside job. Also arrest the burgers who were guarding him. Whoever is going to talk about Human Rights about Banda, ARREST THEM ALSO !!!!! It’s too much sillyness by the PF. THESE ARE WORKS BY THE PF, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE KILLING OF THE IBA CHIEF EXECUTIVE.
The Hon. Minister of Home Affairs is right to give a background. The issue is that Hon. JJ Banda has escaped from a hospital where he was ostensibly receiving treatment. And the officers who were guarding him must be identified and accountable!
JJ Banda is the threat to society, to the government and the President at large. Please mark my word. The government must be very alert on security matters. The PF criminals are busy planning evil actions against the President and the government.
The UPND government has been very tolarant and linient on these criminals.
So wake up, how do you know the police officers assigned to guard the fugitive were PF alligned police officers.
Ati uwakwebele imfwa yakwa noko muntanshi
I don’t believe anything in this country. I only believe my theories.
The first theory is that Hon Jay Jay Banda may be dead…then some one is staging an escape as a cover up.
Until he shows himself alive some where
I assume the man may be dead. This theory is likely.
Second theory is that the man was removed from the hospital bed by agents of the Mingalatoon, and is being kept some where and will be ‘cornered ‘ some where, likely within 48 hours, and people who have been talking about his case like ECL , Binwell etc may be framed for aiding his attempted escape.This theory is very possible.
The Third Theory is that the man has indeed escaped . I find this very unlikely. The Doctors who have been treating him can tell us if in his condition , he is able to jump from the second floor of Chipata general hospital..but it’s very unlikely that there will be a statement from the hospital…We live in a fear republic.
When I heard the issue of abduction I almost believed, I even condemned upnd government but when the news reached morning about JJ banda running away I realized one thing that JJ banda plus all PF guys are all bunch of criminals who doesn’t mean well in the society.please police arrest wife’s , Doctors and policemen who were guarding him.All those issues of sickness it was just faked by Doctors.upnd government too much sleeping we told you to remove PF criminals from sensitive position, given lubinda was even very proud of having PF criminals in sensitive position.
And your theories are of the Hallucinating Lunatic Hypocrite?
For him to jump from a second story window and escape means he was just feigning the illness and he was very fit not sick at all.
This was a longtime planned hospital break for JJ to escape. Even in advanced countries with protected prisons we have heard actual prison breaks what more in an hospital. No one should underrate the criminal style of PF. These guys stole money to buy some people on the way. It is foolish to say that he was not walking it is to feign the disease in a well planned system.
The security people may be bought or not. May be they were outplanned by mafia style. If JJ at that time can beat police officers at the police station and when Benny Kapeso reacted he was fired by ECL it tells volumes. If a niece Can be given $400,000 by Mrs Esther Lungu for safe keep what about JJ the Lungu’s handman it tell volumes. If Faith Musonda can stack K65million what about the well known associates of ECL.
Money can buy anything in a rotten society. It is a well planned escape. And especially there was a well-crafted campaign to make govt feel guilty over his detentions.
I expect the amb of lies to say something, don’t keep quiet you always comment on anything even if you don’t know about what is at play. Emmanuel Mwamba tell us something.
Am sure he is the one who broke the news this morning. If you noted the breaking news was vague.
The ambs of lies thrives on such kachepaism…also note that the comments that are made is a test of what the public thinks of the “PF misinformation machinery”.
These chaps are all out to malign this regime at all costs…You think Lungu pens such poorly written articles like the one wherein they were appealing to donors to intereven in the Jay Jay matter that was just empathy that they sought and when they saw it wasn’t working. The escape was staged. A ladder or someone helped Jay jay while casting aspiration on everyone else. PF and their criminality. Either way Jay Jay has vacated the Petauke Central seat. Ba ECZ na ba Speaker please declare. And let Judgement of the crime be passed in absencenia….kikikikikiki
Kaizer Zulu, Chilufya Tayali and now JJ Banda. There is a lack of seriousness.
It is a well-known fact on how the security recruitments were done under the Tumpyongo authority whose main objective was self-preservation. and because of this many that climbed the ladder to become policemen during that time were aligned to the ruling party and their job was to walt the talk of PF. When UPND came into power, a postmortem of recruitments both in government departments and security wings should have been taken because the PF recruitment was highly biased and corrective measures should have been taken then. What is happening now is a result of the lapse that was allowed to happen, and it is a bit late to start addressing the damage now as those bad eggs have now got firm roots within the system and fellow workers know them. PF has individuals who were recruiting these people and PF has all the money in the world to bring instability if they so wished because for a fact in Zambia, MONEY TALKS. So especially as we go towards the elections, PF will begin to unleash that money to their advantage and already the poverty narrative that exists in Zambia will benefit the PF. The masses have not been sensitized on avoidance on dirty money thus this scourge will affect the elections in a negative way.
